Issue after assigning password to existing user

[BillOatman 597]

Some idiot discovered my Emby server and logged into most of the user accounts (they had no password).
No harm done, but I figured I'd give all accounts passwords to be safe.
The first time logging in after assigning the password I get an auth error on the client, and the server shows

After that, everything is fine.

Hi, what is the problem? Maybe they entered the wrong password initially?

Isn't it also possible that that is simply from the stored access token being invalidated by the fact he added a password?

I just logged in as them myself to make sure everything was correct and that's when the errors (1 per user) happened.

Tested on 4.8 with a user with no password and added a password without issue.

Only tested on web client.

Sometimes clients (such as mobile apps, web apps, or Emby clients on other devices) may cache old login information. If you've changed passwords, this can cause an authentication error.
